Pros

Car (but beware of taxes), good foot in the door at other companies, 401k match is decent

Cons

Don't bother if you're under 40 and don't have kids. MGMT doesn't respect your opinion. Constant tracking on your phone, horrible paperwork system, bad pay, gotta wait for older people to leave to free up salary and titles, forced hourly system and capped OT

Pros

Great coworkers who truly care about putting best foot forward and great technology.

Cons

Compensation has not kept pace with inflation, making it difficult to feel rewarded despite strong performance. * Career progression lacks transparency. Advancement opportunities are limited, and there are no clearly defined milestones or timelines for promotion in some functions. * Organizational priorities and direction frequently change, making it difficult to execute long-term strategies. Communication from senior leadership can feel disconnected from the realities of frontline employees. * The company has become increasingly top-heavy, with decisions often taking a long time to reach the people responsible for execution. * Incentive structures have become less competitive over time, which has negatively affected motivation and retention
